Shu Di Huang en Dang Gui: Rust en Beweging
Si Wu Tang, or the “Decoction of Four Substances,” is the basic formula for supporting female balance and blood quality. The power of this formula lies not in the quantity of ingredients, but in the perfect synergy between two key players:Shu Di Huang in Dang Gui.
Shu Di Huang: De Anker
Shu Di Huang(processed Rehmannia) is a heavy, dark, and rich herb. In the formula, this represents “substance.” It is static and nourishing.
Function:It provides deep nourishment and supports the body’s reserves. It helps replenish the blood. Without this herb, the formula would have no foundation.
Dang Gui: De Motor
Dang Gui(Chinese Angelica) is aromatic and warm. It is known for its ability to support circulation.
Function:It brings movement. Blood must not only be present, it must also flow.Dang Guiensures that the power supply of theShu Di Huangactually gets to the right places.
The Synergy
